Open a Closed PDF Form

I'm creating a PDF form and after I save and close it in edit mode I can't reopen it to make more edits. How can you set the rights when the pdf is open to be able to later open it to make additional changes?

No, it just opens up as a pdf fillable form, but I can't edit the fields? I changed the Security to "No Security" so I could make changes, but when I closed it and opened it back up the security says I can't make eidts.

When opening in filled PDF form, the data flashes and then blanks. Adobe Reader XI

When opening in filled PDF form, the data flashes and then blanks. Adobe Reader XI
I filled in this form with important data. And saved it. I have since opened it and printed it again. Now when I open it the fields become blank I can see them for a split second as it clears them.
I believe I have updated to Reader XI since I filled it in.

Hi Pat,
Are you using Adobe Reader XI? And not Acrobat. It does not ask me to save the form if there are unsaved changes.
I have used previous versions of reader for saving this form data and it did allow me to save it with ctrl+s. And those versions did prompt me to save the changes before closing.
I guess I should not have updated the reader.

I have ADOBE X reader installed in my systems. When I wanted to open an online pdf form, Mozilla puts up a error message and the form does not open.

When I try to open a online pdf form, I get a error message to close the reader and try it again. Sometimes, the message does not come but what I see is just a BLACK screen in Mozilla.

How do i get fdf data to open in my pdf form

I created a fillable pdf form for one of my employers to fill in terminated employees then email back to me. I have two or three problems. First, when i receive the email back I have the fdf attachment with the form, when I try to open it, I get a message about "trusting the form" I've always selected "always trust this form' as it comes from the same person each time but Acrobat Pro X doesn't save my selection to trust. Next problem, I also get a message that I need to browse and find a pdf form to open for the fdf data to display. Why doesn't the most recent opened form for the fdf data appear in my most recent documents list?
If anyone can help I sure would appreciate it, it's very annoying to have to go through these steps everytime I get a form back.
Mike

The FDF would normally have a reference to the form from which it was exported, usually with a specific path. Because it can't be found on your system, you're prompted to locate a form to import the FDF into. If you open the blank form that is on your system separately, it should appear in the most recent list.
So I'd suggest this workflow instead:
1. Download and save the FDF from the email.
2. Open the blank form.
3. Import the FDF into the blank form.

Error during Opening Layout on PDF Forms - SFP

Hi All,
I am trying to develop a PDF Form and I have succcessfully created interface and when i try to create a form, upon pressing the LAYOUT Tab or Button i get an error message and the trnasaction closes down
Error Details are:
==================================================================================
Error while opening document
Message no. SOFFICEINTEGRATION143
Diagnosis
An error occurred in the desktop application while opening a document.
Procedure
Check first whether you can insert a document from this desktop application as an embedded object in another application. The necessary menu item is usually 'Insert --> Object'. The application then lists all of the OLE document types. Choose the type corresponding to the desktop applciation. If the insertion fails, the error is in the desktop application itself.
This error has various causes. Often, it is caused by activating certain add-ins. Sometimes, the desktop application is wrongly installed. The error should not recur once you have disabled any add-ins or reinstalled the desktop application.
Procedure for System Administration
If you cannot solve the problem as described above, enter a problem message. There are notes relating to how to generate the log file using the program SAPROFFICEINTEGRATIONTRACE.
===============================================================================
I check with the guys who do the SAP GUI installation and he did all he can do with no success. My GUI is 710 version with Patch level 7
Can anyone help me in identifying what I should be doing to have Layout opened in my system?
Thanks in advance to all of you,

Seems to be GUI installation issue and will try re-installing required things.

Please follow these steps.
1) uninstall all adobe related stuff
2) uninstall sap gui also
3) again install sap gui
4) Then install all adobe related stuff like ALDsetup.exe, xACF_NW04_SP21.exe
5) Just open the formdesigner.exe from Designer 7.1 folder from your desktop
6) Then go to T-code SFP and try to open the layout, it will work fine.
Take the help of basis if required.

Application exits after opening and closing two forms

Hi,
<<This message was also posted on the designer forum!>>
During testing of a migrated application from 6.0 to 6i we found the following (webbased).
Expected behavior:
1 start application, startform opens;
2 select sub-application, startform sub-application opens;
3 select any form, form opens;
4 close form, startform sub-application returns
steps 3 to 4 can be performed many times.
Real behavior:
1 start application, startform opens;
2 select sub-application, startform sub-application opens;
3 select any form, form opens;
4 close form, main startform returns
(this means one level more is closed)
If we now performs steps 2 to 4 the entire application exits, more or less random during any of the 3 steps.
Can anyone explain why this is happening?
Best regards,
Pascal

Frans,
We use headstart version 50. We use the web version with a VMS db-server and a Tru-64 Unix IAS server. And we think that the latter one is part of the problem. Because all modules are ported to Unix a decision was made to use lowercase. Hence all references tot modules (forms, libraries, reports) should also be lowercase.
We are currently checking if this is the case.

Few things to be checked
Firstly check whether the Travel Expense form is aatched to the feature from SPRO.
Secondly check the Work flow task id is there in the UWL - XML file and if it is missing then add the piece of code in the XML file by copying other action type and include the WF Task Id there and re-register the XML file and check it.
Also make sure that propoer travel management related authorization is there for the manager.

Unable to open responses to PDF Forms

I'm SO frustrated! I cannot open responses to a distributed survey!
Created a survey in InDesign, exported to PDF (smallest file size using Adobe Presets), added fields, distributed to a test audience. They were able to open, respond, and return to me ("internet" email). I was able to download their attached response file but could not open it. It came in as an "FDF" file type and when I click to open, I get this message:
"The file you are attempting to open contains comments or form data that are supposed to be placed on [name of survey]_distributed[1].pdf. This document cannot be found. It may have been moved, or deleted. Would you like to browse to attempt to locate this document?"
And of course, the document cannot be found. I do, however have the appropriate survey documents, _distributed and _responses, in my folder.
Please tell me that my audience does NOT need Adobe Acrobat Pro in order for me to open responses and the Adobe Tracker to receive data!?!?
System: Windows XP
Programs: InDesign CS4, Acrobat Pro 9, Adobe Reader 9.2
Thanks for any assistance!
Kimberlee

From what document do I do this? I just tried the [survey]_responses and nothing happened. From [survey]_distributed, the "import" fxn was greyed out.
One more thing: One respondent, using Acrobat Reader 9.2, had a note at the top of the page saying that he could not save or send responses; could only print the survey!
HUH??

Opening and closing osk form java program on windows 8

Hi
I want to open Osk when ever I click on any text field in windows 8.
I tried in below mentioned way to open and close but it is usefull. could some body help in opening and closing osk properly on windows 8
Opening OSK:
builder = new ProcessBuilder("cmd /c " + sysroot + " /System32/osk.exe");
Closing Osk:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("taskkill /f /im osk.exe");

Hello,
It is odd that you are seeing a dialog saying it needs to be removed. Can you post a screenshot of that?
If a particular update version is already installed, regardless of the build number in the case of EA builds, you will see a message saying that it is already installed, you can then continue or cancel.
Why is it that you were trying to reinstall? As you called out the 64bit OS it may be the case that a 64bit JRE was installed and the JRE is not working in the 32 browser. I mention this as this is a common case. Really only IE has a 64bit browser for Windows, Chrome and Firefox are do not provide production 64bit browsers and thus the 64bit plugin will not run in those browsers. Windows 8 as a bit more of a hurdle as Java must be run on the desktop rather then the start screen and the 32bit browser, as I recall, is the default. Java.com will not provide the 64bit JRE unless a 64bit browser is being used for just this reason. Here are a few links that cover this:
https://www.java.com/en/download/faq/java_win64bit.xml
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/32-bit-and-64-bit-Windows-frequently-asked-questions
You can obtain the 32bit JRE from https://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
To complete the uninstall there are some steps you can try this first:

Only if the above does not work... registry changes, be careful, back up the registry!

Cannot open Hyperlinks in PDF Forms

We use Acrobat Pro 10 / LiveCycle Desginer to create our fill-able forms to then publish on our website. Our users can click the form on our webpage, the PDF opens in Chrome just fine and they can fill in the fields. But when a user trys to click on the Hyperlinks, the Hand doesn't turn into the Finger allowing you to click the link and go to the webpage. When looking at the properties of this PDF, I can see there are restrictions. I only want to allow my customers to click on the Hyperlinks. Keep in mind, they are using Chrome with default Chrome PDF Viewer. Also, many of our internal users do not use Adobe to view/edit PDFs. Their default PDF viewer if eCopy or PowerPDF, so when they open this form in those applications, the Hyperlinks do not work either. The hyperlinks only work if I open with Adobe.
Also, I saw a security restriction in the document properties where is says can only be opened with Acrobat.
Is there way to modify this?

Screenshot is pasted below. Let me know if you can’t see it.
Also, I have attached some other screenshots displaying my problem.
1.       Can’t open PDF in Chrome PDF Viewer
2.       Doesn’t open in eCopy
3.       Does open in PowerPDF, but Hyperlinks don’t work.

Acrobat 9 Pro Slow opening and closing pdf files - "Not Responding"

I was responsible for pushing to get and keep 25 enterprises licenses for Adobe Acrobat Pro Vers 9. Corporate is pushing Blue Beam!
We are on Acrobat Pro Vers. 9.3.1. Windows XP Pro 32 bit OS. (PCs and laptops 1 - 3 years old, min 2 GB RAM, 2.1 GHz CPUs)
Recently pdf files have been slow to open and close to the degree that windows . It's to the point where I thought we were having network issues since this the problem is widespread. However, it can occur when opening files on the local machine as well. Worse, it's intermittent. We do not run any add-ins, 3rd party or Adobe. Most of these file run from 25kb in size to 2MB, rarely are they 5MB+.
I just installed 9.3.2 and will keep an eye on it. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions as to what might be causing this or, what to look for?
Thanks!
Brian

Thanks Brennao. Our Organizer90 files were 7MB - 9MB. I've deleted them on my PC and a couple of others. Adobe help was no help for disabling the the Organizer. I had to search the forums again to find out where to do that, and low and behold, the app apparently defaults to store data for 12 months! I've change the setting to "Don't Remember PDFs", on the same PCs and am monitoring the performance to see if this is the "Silver Bullet". If it works we'll put the instructions in our company FAQs.

I cannot open any online pdf forms with reader, is acrobat somehow blocking me from doing this?

Have tried redownloading reader and flash but still having trouble

How are you trying to open them? Are you using a browser (if so which one)? What versions of Reader and Acrobat might be useful. If in a browser, can you right click on the PDF and select to open in a specific application like reader?

PDF Form opening on Acrobat X

I cannot open a downloaded PDF Form on Acrobat X on Mac, but it opens on Acrobat Reader. My Plug.in AcroForm is loaded. Any hint or halp available?
Message given by ACROBAT X:
"Unable to read the form. Do not save and exit the program as it might cause data corruption or
loss. The form can only be edited using Adobe Reader software!"

Hi,
Thanks for the tip. I disabled JAVA and got now the following message:
"If the form is viewed in "Protected View" mode, all features should be
enabled for the form to
function properly. If after enabling all features this message is still
visible, check that JavaScript
is enabled in Edit Preferences Javascript"
Enabling JAVA leads again to the initial message?
Best!
